I've just found this on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLEus9Gfpvk&feature...
Couldn's find anything else about it on the net, maybe due to my limitations at work.

Looks like a solid "real driving simulator" more akin to GTR on pc than console hybrids like Forza/GT and I think the visuals are very good for this kind of production. Loving the bloom effect on other car's windhields reflections.

Does anyone have some info about it?

They have added night/day cycle in the latest alpha build.

Some videos I found from youtube. Looks really nice for early test.

I have had some time to check out this game now. I must say it feels pretty good with 360 controller. Took some screenshots from the newest build. Some tracks look really good with the new lighting.

I am not 100% sure if replay mode adds any effects to the game. Also for now at least it depends hugely on what time of the day and what track you are driving. We need to remember, it's the first member level build with the new lighting system. So it should get better and better overtime. Also all tracks are still heavily in the development, so they can look really barren.

I took some screenshots while playing. It's quite hard to do :P I think they look close enough. Probably looks more blurry but then again these were taken while driving and others where from paused replay mode. :) Oh and images are bigger so I just link them here. about 2-3MB per picture.

Sorry I didn't have time to show you the grass/sand textures. You probably wanted to see the area, where you drive the most of the time :P

This game seems to be *all over* as of now, in all areas. Graphics can look good, but very "sterile", and don't get me started on the night racing. Physics look good at times, but far from convincing at others--I currently don't have a good enough PC to play this on, otherwise I'd try it. So not convinced on this one yet, even though I really like the concept.
